TIE INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL

1t is stated that as reformed thus far,
the interstate commerce bill provides that
no greater charge shall be made for a
short than for longer haul of freight or
passengers, over the same line in the same
direction, but that a proviso permits the
Commission, to be erected, to prescribe
the extent to which railroad may be re-
lieved from the operation of the section
And in this proviso the fatal weakness
of the whole section is confessed. If the
principle" sought to be established is
well grounded, it can have no exception.
If is right that no more shall be charged
for freight carried to way station, one
having no terminal facilities, no COMPETE
tive relation, than if carried by that station
from one point to another more distant,
and which two have other means of trans
portation between them. then it is right
that the rule should apply to all way sta
tions between the two points If it is
right that railroad shall give up all its
freight business between New York and
San Francisco to, steamship lines, to which
the law does not apply, in order to pre-
serve the right to carry freight to Ogden
or Battle Mountain, or any other interme-
date point where steamship lines from
New York or San Francisco cannot touch,
then there ought to be no exception made
in behalf of any road for any one or more
non-competitive points between New
York and San Francisco. To make an
exception for one will be to do injustice to
all others, and hence the so-called "excep-
ton to the principle" destroys the "prln-
ciple."

THE San Francisco Examiner says con-
corning the long and short haul provision
OF the interstate commerce bill, that the
people viii take their chances of its work
ing them harm. This is very well to say,
but let the Examiner recall the truth of
political ethics, that whenever legisla-
ton which is intended for public
good works public i'll, the people invari-
ably turn upon the legislative authors of
their punishment. This never fails. The
people expect wisdom, not error. of law
makers; they do not ask them to invite
them to take chances" they expect them
rather to deal with eertainties in the law.

EDWARD ATKINSON, the distinguished
political economist, has written letter in
answer to the one from the Bureau of
Statistics, in which he shows by what he
asserts to be authentic statistics that the
skilled and unskilled laborers receive
higher wages now than in 1860, or at any
time since; that this is really the richest
country in the world that the accumulated
capital does not exceed twice and a half
the annual product, and, as he puts it,
eve are only about two and half years
ahead of the famous wolf at the door,"
He claims statistics prove that I" if we
take any given factory, it viii appear that
the productive capacity of each operative
is from fifty to two hundred per cent.
greater to-day than it was in 1860 The
same number of operatives in cotton
factory, making coarse fabrics, can turn off
200 per cent. more cloth in less number
of hours and with less arduous work at the
present day than they could in the same
factory in 1850. Invention has reduced
the capital and has increased the product
advanced the wages and reduced the
cost of labor" Again, he holds that it is
fact that with US factory labor produces
more now than in 1860 and pays higher
wages, and at the same time the wages will
buy more dollar for dollar than in 1860.
These are economic assertions that may
well engage the inquiry of thoughtful
men.

THE RESULT.

The election which took place in
this Parish on last Monday for the
purpose of electing delegates to the
State Convention closed one of the
bitterest political campaigns ever wit
messed in Avoyelles. The fight was
fisrce and determined, and all good
men mvst rejoice that it terminated
peaceably and without leaving behind
scars that will not heal. The result is
favorable to Gen. Nichols and against
Gov. McEnery, the best Executive
that Louisiana has ever had. We
bow in graceful manner to the will
of the people, fairly expressed at the
ballot box. The Bntletin made its
fight in an honorable manner; made
it bravely and courageously and with
out soiling its hands by the use of ex-
D, essions that could wound the feel
ings of any Democrat. With US the
contest ends. Avoyelles is for Nj
cholls, but Louisiana will be for Nc

The Times Democrat and the Picayune

In an article in the Times Democrat
of the 18th, with reference to charges
made against its by the Picayune, the
following paragraphs are found =
The editor of the Picayune has on
several occasions during this campaign
vexed the pnblic ear by his intemper-
ate and unjournalistic TRADES against a
number of gentlemen whose status in
the community and in the State is as
far above his own as a star is above
the dark pool which reflects its radi-
ance. On several occasions he has
grown insolent and overbearing ia his
references to this paper, but we have
preferred to overlook them, believing
thst the common sense and sober judg-
ment of the pnblic would approve our
course. Yesterday, However, he in
dulged in language that cannot pass
unnoticed and unrebuked. n n +
In conclusion we feel constrained
to say that the editor of the Picayant
is the last man in the editorial profes-
sion to impugn the yeracity or charac'
ter of any one. Intensely partisan
and utterly unscroupulous, he does not
hesitate to resort to any falsehooa tc
aid his faction, but is quick to charge
upon others the want of a virtue he
never possessed himself, and of which
therefore he cannot appreciate the
vBlue.
